Are you talking about his use of body english on the upright rows, or something else?

Yeah, BNPs tend to go one way or the other with most folks. Although, really, why anyone would try to emulate the workout of a professional athlete while not being one is kinda beyond me. Randy built up to his current level of fitness, and it'd be ridiculous to just jump right in and try to cookie cutter his routine.

Randy's probably like a lot of excellent high school and college athletes; he was shown sloppy weight form by a wrestling coach that didn't know any better, and built up enough strength on the mats that his poor form in the weight room never caught up with him.

I tried this in November (with less weight); it kicked my ass but I was in much worse shape then. I'll have to try it this weekend or next, but I generally agree with the comments - Randy's a pro and a top-tier one at that so I doubt this would be for everyone.

On top of this, it could be like the 300 workout where it's more of a test or a showcase than anything else, I mean, come on, Randy's a freakish genetic specimen, he could have done just about any sport/art and still been able to beat the **** out of most people well into his 'applesauce for dinner via IV' years.

I'd like to leave this world like I came into it: Screaming, naked & covered in someone else's blood

I tried this tonight with my flatmate and it was fucking tiring.

We've both done a fair bit of weight training before so weren't copying his form, just the routine. Because we were taking it in turns we were getting a lot more than a minute's rest and only did 3 sets of 10kg on each side but can feel it everywhere on my body.
